Thanks For The Great Response

I am looking at everyone's links (the active ones first). I won't be able to respond to everyone, but have already contacted a few of you talented folks.All the stuff I'm looking for is very cartoony (obviously!) and I especially would like to find animators nearby who would like to do some silly stuff that breaks away from the usual stuff.

If you love Fleischers or 40s Warner Bros and have always wanted to try animating in styles like those...

I'm not gonna post a link to my stuff because I'm not that good yet, but I was wondering if, in the future, you could talk about portfolios, like what kinds of things animation directors look for in your drawings, the common amateur mistakes, and stuff like that.Your posts are always extremely informative, and I guess that would be cool for a lot of people.

Wow Julian your a pretty amazing artist you have many of the same draftsman qualities as Basil Wolverton and Mort Drucker. I know I'm not in a position to recommend anyone but he not only has the talent to aid you John but also a distinctive style all his own.

Speaking of Mort I found these cartoons he did during the early 1960's essentially lampooning the beatnik the necessary precursor to Hippies. http://cartoonsnap.blogspot.com/2009/06/more-beatnick-comics-by-mort-drucker.html

Hi John! I am not nearby,but I would like you to see my blog if you can!You probably knows the Frootloops and Tiger woods commercialls that are on american television!I worked on that,doing rough animation and character layout!Thks and congrats on the blog!

That sounds like a great opportunity for some people who come a little closer to the description. It seems you'd have little trouble finding people who match those needs without resorting to someone on the east coast using Flash and After Effects. Other than those 2 points I'm practically cut from the same mold influence-wise. If I were more into struggling and starving (more than I am now, that is) I should have headed to the west coast 20 years ago.

I've been neglecting my blog for a while, what little time I get I've been spending working on my project, so there's not enough good "portfolio" type stuff here. I've also linked it here before without it garnering any reaction, so I'm not really expecting to be picked for any team. Just for laughs, I'll link it anyway:

I only have old Flash Animations to demo, right now!.(Some, I think are actually funny.)I own (legally) ToonBoom Studio 6, Animate Pro, and am being hired to create a short in Toonboom which will be complete Mid-march.(And yes, I'm fully schooled in animation)

(composting and colouring for a film and some try out animation)but I do not own it at the moment.Please let me know what you think of it if there is the time.I would love to work on a project that looks as cool as this ^^,
